We are so f*ucked...



Yes Trump is all these things. BUT for now America is still a democracy and the more he fucks up the response to the pandemic, and his supporters die because they won't wear face masks cause culture wars - the worse it will get for him in November.
The fact that he had never heard of Juneteenth, but wants militarised police and the frigging army on the streets against peaceful protesters of colour and then describes it as beautiful - means the outpouring of righteousness will continue from our young people - and the worse it will get for him in November.
The more he gives trillion dollar bailouts to his pals, while SME's and sole traders flounder, and the more he fails to support unemployed Americans who have lost their jobs to this pandemic - the worse it will get for him in November.
The more he supports the brutality of white supremacist police who lynch black men for being black, the more Generation Z will continue to show their displeasure and politicising young people is certainly not a good plan for republicans. If the 18-25 year demographic vote on mass this November...
Just sayin'

He always speaks Truth to Power in his own unique but powerful way.

Tom Paine would be ecstatic that he is continuing a proud tradition.

With that splitscreen pic of Dubya, lol. Hadn't thought of it in years, glad it's still around. I always loved that site back when I (quaintly) thought W was the most unbelievably stupid, crass, evil pResident imaginable.

Going to go check that out.

Every sentence starts with "we're asking". My question is, how many people here at Democratic Underground has asked Trump to do any of these things?

"we are so fucked"

I think Joe Biden, and millions of democratic voters, including me, would disagree. "We're" not ready to surrender.

My impression, and interpretation of this thing was " We give up. We surrender." Which leads me to the question, exactly who is this we you're talkin about? It sure the hell ain't any of us.

He stole the election and the rest is history. He’s is a fucking moron of epic proportions and I never thought he would do ONE THING RIGHT, FAIR OR GOOD!

His unqualified "aides" are pure evil AND stupid. The gop who cheer him on are to blame, too. We have to rid the government of all gop traitors. Like Bolton, nobody speaks up until they leave and write a book. The damage done in 3 1/2 years is tremendous. It will take many, many years to get this country back on an even keel. There is not a single goop member who has any idea where to start. tRump and all his helpers need to face a jury, and get their punishment for the damage they have done.

Not the MAGAs who refuse to wear masks in public, you! He says it is because YOU are going to the bars that he opened, not his supporters who had to have their hair and nails done.

Go vote in November!

Doesn't it bother you that the GOP, the least republican political party in America is customarily referred to by that?

I'll accept the correction, but ONLY if we never call the GOP "Republicans" again. Whatever the philosophy at their founding, they are not republicans now, and shouldn't get to exert such newspeak on the rest of us.

"If the 18-25 year demographic vote on mass this November"
Should be "If the 18-25 year demographic can vote this November"

There, that reflects the actual concern we should have.
